The beginning date of this phase is January 1, 2023. This mandate requires that all e-invoices be submitted to the ZATCA system for approval and verification. In exchange, ZATCA will sanction and formally bind the invoice in compliance with governmental regulations.

Convert Your Business Processes for ZATCA E-Invoicing Phase II
Taxpayers should only need to make small changes to their current business process to embrace e-invoicing by phase 2 requirements. To comply with e-invoicing standards, make the following changes:
- You don’t need to start by significantly changing your present billing procedure. The first stage requires converting paper invoices into electronic invoices as mandated by ZATCA. Additionally, to maintain proper operations, your company must actively add and register the necessary devices with ZATCA through configuration.
- If you would like to add or remove fields that conflict with ZATCA mandatory fields, you might need to enhance your present invoice printing capability.
- Additionally, you must make sure that ZATCA receives any invoices generated in your accounting, point-of-sale, or ERP system.
- You must submit an electronic tax invoice in PDF/A-3 format that complies with all ZATCA requirements for B2B transactions. However, you must provide a paper copy of the streamlined tax e-invoice along with a functional QR code for B2C transactions.
- To comply with ZATCA audit standards, you must archive all of your electronic invoices for six years.
